Itinerary

Day 1 · In the palm grove

  1. M'Hamid

    one day

    The caravan will start from M’Hamid El Ghizlane and you will be accompanied by the desert bird team (its camel drivers, guides and cooks). We will first cross the palm grove of the village and have a meal in the shade of the palm trees. The walk will continue until Marabout Sidi Naji, sanctuary of the ancestor of our tribe, the Nouajis. We will install the bivouac there for the night and spend the evening around the fire, under the starry sky.

All meals are included. The midday meal is often cold and the evening meal cooked over a wood fire.

The nights take place in the desert, in the kheima, the traditional nomad tent, or under the stars.

Day 2 · Bertham Dunes

  1. M'Hamid

    one day

    After a good breakfast, the walk will lead us to the magnificent dunes of Bertham. You will see some traces of the nomads and their herds that once lived there. We will set up the bivouac for the night not far from the plains of ostriches, a place where the nomads still keep their flocks.

The nights take place in the desert, in the kheima, the traditional nomad tent, or under the stars.

Day 3 · Crossing the hamada

  1. M'Hamid

    one day

    The return to M'Hamid will be through the hamada, a stone desert where it is not uncommon to find fossils or other treasures. We will stop at the wells, real meeting places in the desert, before the time to say goodbye to the caravan has come.

M'Hamid is the last village before the Sahara. It can be reached from different airports. You then have several options for finding us. The bus is the most economical and simplest form of transport. During the trips stops are planned to eat or have tea but it will not allow you to stop where you want, for that you will need to take a private means of transport (taxi, 4x4), which we can organize.
